Found a random bottle at a Binny’s. Dated 2007, I guess this is atleast two years old. Very dark, plum red pour with off white bubbly head. It’s got a wild yeasty nose, some nice sourness. Slightly tart flavor with wood, cherries, a dusty earthiness. Some yeast. It’s not really sour, but it’s not that bad. Lots of carbonation, chalky palate. This is like going in expecting the worst and then being embarrassed for overreacting.

Dec 5, 2009 12.7 oz bottle, corked & caged - 2007 version, fresh: extremely dark brown with cherry hues...ivory, small bubbled head. Sour cherry skin aroma, with darkly toasted, leathery components...also has notes of dark yeast and rye bread. Palate is smooth with subtle carbonation down the middle of the tongue. Rich cherries and dark ale flavours mix with a hint of spicy dough and orange peel. Finish is light, oaky and has touches of burnt cherries now...I really dig the attempt here, not totally authentic (but how could it be?) but has quite a few whisps and reminders and really points to a traditional lambic, even if it doesn’t really get all the way there.

Sep 16, 2009 Brown with some reddish hues and a foamy beige head that leaves layers of foam on the glass. Chunks of suspended yeast hand out throughout the liquid. Aroma of oak, cherry, wild yeast, mild funk and spicy pepper. Taste of wood, mild cherry, spicy yeast and mild funk. Somewhat carbonated and tart with a mild oak and funk aftertaste mixed in with spicy pepper. Decent sour/lambic/whatever it is.

Aug 31, 2009 Bottle shared at Where the Wild Beers Are NYC 2009: Rusty brown with a ruby hue and a thick khaki head. The aroma has a touch of roast with a syrupy cherry note, mild oak, marzipan and almost a peat suggestion. Interesting. Fluffy body with an interesting flavor as well. Tart upfront with an underlying mildly roasted, nearly smoky/peat-like malt note under the cherry tartness and brett chalky phenolic dryness. A bit hard to figure out, but it’s unique and tasty. Like a peated sour ale. Nice.
